Politics and Religion
A new blog on religion and the 2008 election campaign (www.Spiritual-Plitics.org) has been launched by the Leonard E. Greenberg Center for the Study of Religion in Public Life at Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut. Spiritual Politics will "provide daily tracking of the way religion seems to be enhancing, disturbing, and otherwise interacting with the 2008 election cycle," says Mark Silk, director of the Greenberg Center. "We are trying to do this in a reasonably nonpartisan way, though not without attitude," he adds. (Christian Century, February 12, 2008)
